Are clear aligners as effective as traditional metal braces?

Yes, clear aligners are as effective as metal braces. However, metal braces may be the better solution for severe orthodontic issues. Your dentist in Indianapolis will evaluate you to determine whether clear aligners are a suitable option for your needs and goals.

About Clear Aligners in Indianapolis, IN

You wear custom clear aligners over the teeth to slowly correct misalignment. You change these aligners every few weeks to coax the teeth along.

Clear aligners are discreet and preferred to traditional braces because they have no unsightly or uncomfortable brackets or wires.

Clear aligners can correct the following issues:

  • Crooked, twisted, and misaligned teeth
  • Gaps or wide spaces between teeth
  • Bite misalignment, including overbite

After treatment, we fit you with a retainer to ensure long-term orthodontic success. The retainer prevents orthodontic relapse.

The dentist determines your candidacy during a consultation. We also answer any questions you might have before starting treatment.
